Methodology Development at NYULMC Microscopy Core - Correlative Light and Electron Microscopy Applications

Similar to most Microscopy Cores, our light microscopy (LM) services focus on training for the correct use of microscopes, and keeping all the microscopes in a nice working state. Image analysis is another major LM core service, which helps users to better understand their imaging data. Our electron microscopy (EM) services are very broad, ranging from all different kinds of sample preparation to image acquisition. Given the fact of rapid development of light and electron microscopes, catching up with new technology is one of the key points for a modern Microscopy Core. The advantage of combining light and electron microscopy services in a single core provides a unique position for the Microscopy Core to carry projects over from light microscopy to electron microscopy. So, correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM) becomes a hot selling point for our Microscopy Core services.
